Why are 964 pedals offset to the left?

Its a little uncomfortable - takes some getting used to - were they all like this? You almost have to sit diagonally to reach the pedals.

HAHA I see - interesting. Thanks

I think quite difficult for those with bigger feet. Gets quite clumsy down there. Obviously difficult for the powerfully built compant director types.

Unbelievable that manufactures like BMW and Audi have offset pedals to the right!

Do they?

Brilliant.

Great pictures - thanks, and this illustrates it perfectly. When I drove one I thought it was just a Porsche nuance to get used to (as 911god alludes to). However, seeing the LHD set-up it is apparent that for the RHD is somewhat of a bodge up - and a bit ridiculous! So much so, I am reconsidering the 964 purchase - as I am sure it will sacrifice some of the enjoyment having to sit and such an obtuse angle all the time! Will be out to test a couple more and see if I can get used to it and live with it...
